There was no joke, really. There was some fun in saying that the term “JavaScriptâ„¢” is used as a common name for all dialects of ECMAScript„¢. But it was poor joke. There are no dialects of ECMAScript. ECMAScript is a standard. Either you comply to a standard, or you don’t. “Dialects” just don’t fit in. In reality, here on Earth, “JavaScript” is a vague term used to describe a family of programming languages, and “ECMAScript” is a (foolishly named, but otherwise mostly successful) attempt at standardizing JavaScript. If you present ECMAScript is primary and actual implementations as “dialects”, it’s upside-down wishful thinking that just confuses you, and possibly some other people. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
